Blue Moon by Alyson Noël
4.0

I struggled whether to give this book 3 or 4 stars. Officially my rating is 3.5, because honestly, I'm an indecisive girl. Truthfully, I was really disappointed by the first book. It wasn't what I expected. However, the ending left me intrigued and when I start a series it's hard for me to drop it, unless I completely loathe the book. That being said, I liked Blue Moon significantly more than Evermore. That could mostly be due to the fact that I wasn't expecting a lot from this installment, or perhaps more accurately I had a better idea of what to expect from this book. There's even more talk about energy and auras in this book, which is something I really like about this series, because the book is based on a fantastical concept (immortals) but it also borrows from real life phenomena, such as psychic abilities and reincarnation. I thought that was really clever. The ending had me wanting to rush out and buy Shadowland, the third book in the series, which I will be doing very shortly. Hopefully the next installment will be even better!
